[meteorite-list] Which meteorite felll on November 29th 1820?

[chris aubeck]

Hi,

Greg has:

Nov 29 1820, Cosenza; Ionian Isles ... ... ... lighted everything up;
like daylight. Calabria. Arago says a shower of stones; other
accounts, only a great meteor. No mention of any detonations.

So I know such a case exists.

Best,

Chris
